Two biggest suitors for Mike Wallace sign Free Agent Wide Receivers

Found March 18, 2012 on Bleed Black & Gold: Yardbarker Blogger Network
PLAYERS: Mike Wallace,  Josh Mcdaniels,  Anthony Gonzalez,  Rob Gronkowski,  Aaron Hernandez,  Tom Brady,  Randy Moss,  Michael Crabtree,  Vernon Davis,  Peyton Manning
TEAMS: Pittsburgh Steelers,  Indianapolis Colts,  New England Patriots,  San Francisco 49ers

The Mike Wallace market looked to get a little slimmer yesterday.  The New England Patriots and San Francisco 49ers both signed free agent Wide Receivers.  That should fill both of their rosters at Wide Receiver.  Adding Wallace to either team could cause a log jam at the position. The Patriots signed Brandon Lloyd yesterday.  Lloyd wanted to remain with Josh McDaniels who is now the Patriots offensive coordinator.  The Patriots have now signed Lloyd and Anthony Gonzalez away from the Colts.  That gives them a solid three receiver set.  They also have Rob Gronkowski and Aaron Hernandez at tight end who also make plays.  The Patriots still have the cap space and the ability to sign Wallace.  Wallace wants to be the guy though.  On this team he would be fighting for the ball.  Tom Brady hits the open guy.  He will not force it to Wallace just because he wants the ball. Brady did have his best statistical success with Randy Moss though.  Wallace is that type of speed guy who can beat t...

Shoring Up Wallace Misconceptions

Via SteelBlitz Steelers Blog  |  March 18, 2012
As Steelers fans know WR Mike Wallace is a restricted free agent. “Wallace Watch 2012″ may be the second biggest story of the NFL Off-season behind “Manning Watch.” However, it seems as though many fans do not understand how restricted free agency works. With tenders and draf Continue

The one free agent the Steelers should be targeting: Jerricho Cotchery

Via SteelerAddicts  |  March 18, 2012
Before we get on to the topic at hand we should note that with the 49ers signing of free agent Mario Manningham, there isn’t much left for the Steelers Mike Wallace.  The hoopla at the start of free agency, with all the suitors that he would have banging down his door at 4pm on March 13th;  is all just an afterthought now. The Steelers appear, for the time being at least, pretty...

Hines Ward Is Selling His Atlanta Mansion. Photos Included.

Via Players View  |  March 17, 2012
In our article here, we envisioned a scenario in where former Pittsburgh Steeler WR Hines Ward could end his career out in his hometown of Atlanta, GA. We knew it was a long shot but hey it’s the NFL. The Falcons recently let WR/KR Eric Weems slide over to Chicago yet they brought back slot man Harry Douglas.  But those moves are not the only thing that put a pin in that balloon...

Report: Mike Tolbert Not Visiting With Steelers Saturday

Via Steelers Depot  |  March 17, 2012
Last night Kevin Acee of the San Diego Union-Tribune reported that unrestricted free agent running back Mike Tolbert was likely to land with the Pittsburgh Steelers or the Carolina Panthers and that Tolbert had a visit set up Saturday with an undisclosed team. In my post last night that relayed the report from Acee, I warned that although Tolbert would certainly be a fit for the...

Rashard Mendenhall might be done with Steelers

Via Larry Brown Sports  |  March 19, 2012
Rashard Mendenhall‘s season ended when he tore his ACL Week 17 against the Browns, and the injury could mark the end of his career with Pittsburgh. The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports the Steelers do not expect Mendenhall to be of much use to them this year. The team’s GM is not expecting him to return to form until at least the 2013 season. Mendenhall’s contract expires after...

Pros and cons of Steelers interest in Mike Tolbert

Via SteelerAddicts  |  March 17, 2012
The Steelers have interest in free agent running back Mike Tolbert but it's unclear how much for certain at this point. Nothing is set in stone for sure but it's a possibility nonetheless to explore amidst all the constant rehashing of old news that everyone seems enamored with these days. Talks broke down between Tolbert and the Chargers on Thursday night and he is...

Free Agent Options Dwindling For Steelers WR Mike Wallace

Via GridironFans.com  |  March 18, 2012
Before the start of free agency there was plenty of speculation that the Pittsburgh Steelers could end up losing WR Mike Wallace despite the fact that he was a restricted free agent. The Steelers were way over the cap but managed to get that in order before teams could start throwing offers at the receiver. ESPN Boston’s Mike Reiss mentions that the Patriots signing of Brandon...

Alfie Crow with a good point on Mike Wallace

Via The Jaggernaut  |  March 18, 2012

Peyton Manning And Hines Ward Free Agents: Who Would Have Thought?

Via Football Nation  |  March 18, 2012
A year ago, it would have been crazy to think either quarterback Peyton Manning or wide receiver Hines Ward would be free agents this spring, but both future Hall of Famers find themselves out of a job, at least, temporarily. It’s been over two weeks now since Indianapolis and Pittsburgh announced the releases of star players Manning and Ward. As painful as it may be, both releases...

Cardinals Bring In William Gay For A Visit Monday

Via Steelers Depot  |  March 19, 2012
It should come as no surprise that the Arizona Cardinals brought Pittsburgh Steelers free agent cornerback William Gay in for a visit on Monday as the Cardinals defensive coordinator is Ray Horton, who coached the Steelers defensive backs prior to leaving for Arizona. Gay is an unrestricted free agent and is free to sign with any team. Gay has said his hopes were that he would remain...

49ers Could Still Make A Run At Steelers WR Mike Wallace

Via GridironFans.com  |  March 19, 2012
The Pittsburgh Steelers took a calculated risk by not franchising wide receiver Mike Wallace and placing a first-round tender on the receiver. Thus far it has worked. But Peter King of SI.com thinks if Peyton Manning rejects the 49ers and they lose Alex Smith, they would sign free-agent quarterback Josh Johnson and if the Niners save $8 million a year by not signing Smith and by...

Denver Broncos Should Really Go All In and Sign Pittsburgh Steelers WR Mike Wallace

Via thepigskinreport.com  |  March 20, 2012
The Denver Broncos convinced Peyton Manning to choose signing with them over the Tennessee Titans, San Francisco 49ers and countless other teams who pursued the future Hall of Fame quarterback. John Elway has demonstrated that he is all in for the team to get back to the Super Bowl, as they made a tremendous upgrade at the most important position on the field. This is...
